Did you know that Adams State put 5 in the top 5 in 1992? Both of these are ridiculously good lol

[@MichaelMiller-wn4yf]

OMG!! I thought he retired. As a Browns and Buckeyes fan, I've disliked him with extreme prejudice, but a huge shout out to T. Brady of UM for being 40th at the 6k split! 7 Super Bowl titles, hundreds of millions of dollars, supermodel wives, and he's Top 40 at the XC Championships.

Graham had a phenomenal race. He'll of course remember this accomplishment for the rest of his life! What a race! Nico didn't have the best race, he's still a phenomenal runner & his team did AH - MAY - ZING, placing 5 runners in the top 25 - most other years NAU would've won.

[@allthingspi]

I was there, watched it in person, saw everything happen, I'm born and raised Texan, and still, watching this broadcast- the way Greg Metcalf and previously, Pete Watson, have built that team from the home grown Texas boys is nothing short of astounding. Six, seven years ago you'd never have seen half the UT squad from this season make any statement near the level of prominence they had in HS, now they're bordering on podium contention- And that's after weathering a coaching change, too! Speaks volumes to the team culture down in Austin

"The smartest guy is going to win" that ended up being prophetic.

[@TheRealBrayoTv]

nope, he said post-race he ran like a "dumbass"

[@machineofadream]

@@TheRealBrayoTv Yeah, he said that he felt like he was getting baited into covering a bunch of surges by the leaders at different times in the race, but that they didn't amount to anything, so he felt like he wasted energy. As an observer, I didn't see anything like that. Looked like he actually ran a pretty smart race. Guess being too hard on yourself is a quality of a champion.

Glad to see an American won. Impressive as it (Oklahoma State) might seem, their team is riddled w/African recruits (their top four runners). Kudos to BYU (third), whose team is composed of Americans...and Texas, whose team also is entirely composed of Americans, with six of them being from Texas high schools...that's impressive! They ought implement a rule...where cross country teams have to match every landed foreign recruit with a local state high school recruit.

[@williampatrick8814]

31:25 Runner in blue on the left should have helped his teammate across the line. This is a team sport. A split second decision would have saved dozens of points.

[@machineofadream]

Helped how? And that guy is still upright when passed. How could he know? They were like 10 feet from the finish line, you don't have time to stop and help like that. Besides, he probably knew their next man was just behind, and he was. 31:41 you can see their 5th runner cross the line. The officials were already running out to help.

[@donshields2379]

Actually you cant or it is a DQ

[@williampatrick8814]

​@@donshields2379I didn't know it was a DQ. So, all the times we see athletes help each other across the line they are DQing themselves?

[@Bloozpower]

31:34 and onward is a folly of errors for the kid that went down. They damn near dropped him, and then ran into the other guy who was wobbling all over.

[@raysullins5179]

they did drop him for the most part. fI was at the meet and chatting with someone about it while I was in line to leave and apparantly they were doing wha they were instructed to do.

[@EGRIDDY]

No hate on OSU. But there’s no way their top 2 guys are real freshman. They’re both 21 and 22 and have competed in junior world championships. No way that’s fair.

[@RobotKid2000]

Well they had 6 runners in the top 20 so I don't think it matters either way.

[@Arithmophobia]

They're still college age, they aren't scored any differently for being freshman, it's totally fair

[@RobotKid2000]

Georgias QB was 26 when they won the national championship, is their win also invalid in your eyes?

[@user-bh9vf2zu1r]

Sounds like hate to me.

[@machineofadream]

I believe Conner Mantz was 24 when he won his last NCAA XC title, so it's nothing that new to have older guys in these things. I agree that 22 is pretty old to be running as a freshman, but there's not actually any rule about age specifically, as I understand it.

[@ZimbaZumba]

Commentators need to look up the meaning of 'stud'.

[@dederahman11]

Pada vidio di topic 6, terlihat perlombaan lari sejauh 10 km yang dilakukan oleh banyaknya laki-laki. Dalam aktivitas ini tidak semua orang dapat menyelesaikan perlombaan ini, hal ini memerlukan tingkat latihan tinggi dan lama. Untuk menyelesaikan perlombaan lari sejauh 10 km ini anda harus memiliki setidaknya 3 komponen kebugaran. Anda harus memiliki kecepatan, kekuatan dan juga daya tahan dalam melakukan aktivitas kebugaran tersebut. Disitu juga terlihat kita tidak mudah menyelesaikan perlombaan tersebut dikarenakan medan jalan yang tidak rata yang bisa menyebabkan cedera pada kaki kita.

Trash is a real exaggeration. I think he’s finished 4, 11, 2, 6 at nationals without looking it up. That’s a pretty good career

[@machineofadream]

By a lot? Different athletes up front this year, different course. I don't see that he did obviously worse. Two of the guys who beat him he didn't race in the NCAA last year: Samuel and Kipngetich. He lost to Bosley, but Bosley is his dude, and he had no reason to surge ahead of Bosley. Ky Robinson is the NCAA champ in the 10k and arguably had a bad race last year. Graham Blanks beat everyone at Nuttycombe and had easily the greatest season of any man in Ivy League history. Nico didn't lose to anyone he shouldn't have lost to. I know we all think he's just going to win because, I dunno, reasons and stuff, but he ran fine.

[@Thomas-fk3cw]

​@@machineofadreamHis achilles heel is he can't shift gears and drop the hammer late in the race. Has no kick at all. Just being real. He's a great runner and super highly conditioned, but in HS he could just run away from the field. He can't do that at the college, national, or international level. So he is reaching his ceiling in racing. Talent these days is just so deep and you have to have every tool in your arsenal to win these races. The no kick thing is a huge liability for Nico.
